Patna, (Bihar Times): Railway Minister Lalu Yadav said on Thursday that the Railways have begun the process for a bullet train to run between Delhi and Patna.
Addressing a public meeting after inaugurating the Super-Specialty Hospital near Patna railway station he said the Railways would introduce a bullet train between Delhi and Patna for which a consultant would be appointed for presenting a feasibility report.
He said that a locomotive factory would be inaugurated at Marhaura in Chapra next month and an electric engine factory would be set up in Madhepura, which was hit by the floods of the Kosi.
He informed the responsive crowd that the Union cabinet had given clearance to the Railways to set up seven factories at a cost of Rs 55,000 crore in the state. The Railways also took over two loss-making units of Bharat Wagon at Muzaffarpur and Mokama and also the Dalmianagar factory for revival.
These projects would generate so much employment in next three years that youths of the state would not have to go outside the state in search of jobs and instead people from other states would come to Bihar for employment.
